What is the best soup maker? One of the ways to make a delicious soup quickly and easily is with the use of a soup maker. Designed to cut, blend, and sauté the ingredients in one unit, soup makers significantly save your time, let alone the fact that you end up with only one item to wash later. Whether you need a chunky soup or a smooth soup, this appliance can handle any task. The fundamental difference between a blender and a soup maker is that the latter is equipped with a heating element on the bottom.

How soup makers differ

Soup makers are categorized into two types.

  • The first and the most versatile one is a blender-style soup maker which has a blade mounted on the bottom. Like a traditional blender, this appliance includes a transparent jug and the same functions, with the difference that it can also cook food.
  • The second type features a blade on the lid and a heating element in the base. Made with metal non-transparent jugs, such devices cook soups within half an hour.

Soup makers also differ by capacity, functionality, cooking time, and ease of maintenance. To determine the right size or capacity of the appliance, consider the number of people you are going to serve. Since one portion of soup is approximately 300-400ml, models with a 1.6-liter capacity will cook enough soup for a standard family of four people. Generally speaking, soup makers have a capacity ranging from 0.8 liters to 2 liters.

In terms of functionality, some models feature advanced programs while others are less technologically sophisticated. A great example of a feature-rich soup maker is the Philips Viva.

Made with 4 blades, it is designed to create different soup texture combinations as well as compote and blends. The appliance has 6 automatic programs, four of which are recipes and one is an easy-cleaning program. There is also a beneficial “keep warm” program. The device has a large, user-friendly control panel, so all you need to prepare a smooth soup is put ingredients in the 1.2-liter container, choose the program, and click a “start” button. It takes around 20 minutes for the unit to make soup or compote and 4 minutes to make smoothies.
